Why are female lawyers in Zheng Yuxiu criticized by Hu Shi as shameless?

Zheng Yuxiu was a famous social activist, an outstanding revolutionary and an advocate of feminist movement in the Republic of China. Born in Wuxia Village, Xixiang Town, Xin 'an County, Fushi City, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province (now Lequn Village, Xixiang Town, Baoan District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province), he was a feudal official family. She is the first female doctor, the first female lawyer, the first female administrative officer at the provincial level, the first female president of the local court and the director of the two departments of trial and prosecution in the history of China.

Her father's name was Zheng, and he was a household official in the Qing Dynasty. In order to give her a skill, her mother made her read four books and five classics. She is extremely resistant to three obedience and four virtues. Foot binding was still very popular at that time. Her family is afraid that she will not marry in the future and let her do so. She refused anyway, because she couldn't beat her, so she didn't wrap it up.

When she learned that her grandmother had betrothed her to the son of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi when she was a child, she was so angry that she personally wrote to that person, broke off her engagement, fell out with her family and finally ran away from home.

In thirty-one years, Xu entered Tianjin Girls' School and received western education. Two years later, she went to Japan to study, joined the China League founded by Sun Yat-sen, and was soon hunted down by Yuan Shikai, so she went to the Sorbonne University in France to study law, which is now the University of Paris.

And received a doctor of law, which is the first woman in China to receive this honor. After returning to China, she and her husband Wei Daoming founded the first law firm in Shanghai and became the first female lawyer in China. Zheng Yuxiu served as the director of the trial office in Shanghai, the director of the supervision office, the president of the Shanghai Provisional Court, and later the president of the Shanghai Institute of Law and Politics and the deputy minister of education. Her husband, Wei Daoming, has served as the ambassador of many countries, and her identity has also become the ambassador's wife.

Wang Jingwei and Huang of the League planned to assassinate senior officials of the Qing government. When they arrived in Tianjin, they were afraid that carrying bombs would arouse suspicion, so they asked Zheng Yuxiu to help them. Later, she also participated in the assassination of Yuan Shikai, Liang Bi and others.

After the First World War, the victorious countries of the world held the Paris Peace Conference at the Palace of Versailles in Paris. Because the meeting was controlled by foreign powers, the agreement reached was not conducive to China. At that time, as it was dark, Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang sent by Beijing government was asked to sign the agreement.

On the day before signing the contract, St. Claude Hospital in Lu Zhengxiang was surrounded by international students. Zheng Yuxiu was sent as a representative to negotiate with Lu Zhengxiang. Zheng Yuxiu took a rose before he left. She put it on Lu Zhengxiang's back during the negotiation. Lu Zhengxiang thought it was a gun, so the signing failed.

Since Zheng Yuxiu is a heroine, why did Hu Shi criticize her so much? Hu Shi hated Zheng Yuxiu very much. In his diary, he said several things. On one occasion, he went to see two Frenchmen, who helped Li Shiceng and Zheng Yuxiu run the monthly China novelle and invited him to participate. He declined politely.

Once, he went to Hershey's house to visit Gu Weijun's wife and play poker. At the dinner table, Mrs Hirsch proposed to send a New Year telegram to Zheng Yuxiu, but Hu Shi didn't speak. Later, when Mrs. Hu Xi wrote with a pencil, Hu Shi said, "Please don't sign my name. These women are so shameful."

In Hu Shi's diary, he also wrote: "Yang Zhonghu became Zheng Yuxiu's brother-in-law and served as the president of the court of the Special Administrative Region (public concession). So I don't associate with him. Recently, Meng Lin and Chang Zhi were arrested because of fellow villager Dr. Cheng Yongxi. Every day, they begged me to visit Yang Jun, so I had to visit him, but I didn't see them.

In Hu Shi's diary, it was also said that on one occasion, many students were present when Zheng Yuxiu was discussed and when Zheng Yuxiu took the doctor's exam. Every time someone asks Zheng Yuxiu, she can't answer. She just answers, "Anpointdevue Chinoise, nestcepas?" (That is, from China's point of view, isn't it? ), and then all the French people present hid and fled, and all the people in China were ashamed and sweaty.

The diary also broke a very exciting news. One day, Zheng Yuxiu's nephew named A Niu caught her hugging Wei Daoming (Zheng Yuxiu's husband) naked. She was angry and kicked him out. This man married movie star Li Dandan a month ago and went to Europe for their honeymoon. His mother often forced him to get married, but he couldn't, so he took a child home from the orphanage and said it belonged to Dr. Zheng. "

1954, Zheng Yuxiu's left arm became ill, and now it has become cancerous, and he was forced to remove his left arm, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Zheng Yuxiu, who became famous all his life. Zheng Yuxiu, who lived in a foreign country and felt lonely, suffered from illness in his later years and died on 1959 12 16 at the age of 68.
